2022 Women in Commercial Real Estate: Sarah McGillicuddy, BR+A Consulting Engineers
Associate Principal - Director of Business Development

What advice would you offer to women getting into the CRE industry?
It is critical to carve out room to create relationships, it takes time and a level of vulnerability but the dividends are second to none.
